How to Claim a Promise – Dr. Charles Stanley

In this message, Dr. Stanley discusses the "static" we feel in our spirits when we’re not in the will of God. Our entire belief system is based on the promises of God, and we can trust God to be faithful to keep them all. However, many people miss out because they neglect Him and don’t take hold of the promises God has made to His children.

When we have personal needs God has promised to fulfill, we should remember He will only do so when:

- The context of Scripture allows it.
- Fulfilling His promise honors Him.
- Fulfilling His promise is consistent with His immediate will for our lives.
- Fulfilling His promise is an encouragement to others.
- We willingly walk in obedience to His will.

Also, we can know He will fulfill a promise when:

- The Spirit of God confirms it.
- The peace of God prevails in our minds and spirits.

We ought to respond to the Lord with obedience, faith, and patience. Many people pray right prayers and ask for right things but make mistakes because they are unwilling to wait. God created time and is in control of it. All we must do is trust that He will bring about His plan for our lives in His time.

When I was in an abusive relationship I would listen to this great man's sermons on my way home from work. He is so smart and made me feel safe, then when his sermon was over I would cry and I'd pray please don't stop, please don't end your sermon. I know he was from God and God was speaking through him .since then he's always been around preaching his words . I really want to meet him in heaven and shake his hand. And tell him what he did for me.thankyou God for Dr Charles stanely.

Proverbs 12:25
New King James Version
25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,
But a good word makes it glad.

I was delivered from anxiety and depression. The Lord is the Great Physician & healer, Jesus is the way maker!!

Thank You Dear Lord Jesus for helping a sinner like me, delivering me from darkness, I Praise You Dear HEAVENLY FATHER GOD in Jesus name & I Glorify YOU in all Jesus does for

Standing on The WORD OF GOD which is The Foundation of my Life. God Always Keeps His Promises. The Promises of GOD BELONG TO THE CHILDREN OF GOD (Dr Charles Stanley). Powerful powerful sermon. To GOD BE THE GLORY.

Remember in this life everyone, it's not about you, and it's not about me.Its about sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and the word of God, with everyone. And being a good Christian friend to all. I love each of you equally, all the way to Heaven.

[IBJESTER]

The Lord has been with me throughout my entire life. He has answered every prayer I have asked of Him. Sometimes He said, "No, " but He still answered.

[emilybiroschak]

"No" in God's language is also "I love you." It is another form of protection.

[jbazan]

Its amazing how God speaks through this man. Speaking directly to my daily life and walk with God.

[nicoletteswinton]

An excellent teacher. The best I've ever listened to.

My family and I have been feeling very weary through this difficult year but I'm choosing to put my faith in God instead of giving in to my depression tendencies. This life is about rejoicing in God, at all times. Thank you for your strengthening sermons!
